Three-Quarters of Jewish People in Europe Hide Their Identity
Yahoo! News ^ | Thu, July 11, 2024 | James Rothwell

Three-quarters of Europe’s Jewish community hide their identities as they fear being harassed or attacked by anti-Semites. Jews in EU member states are in the grip of a “rising tide of anti-Semitism”, an EU rights agency that conducted the survey said, as it blamed increased tensions over the war in Gaza.

Across Europe, 76 per cent said in the survey they hid their Jewish identity “at least occasionally” while 34 per cent said they took care to avoid Jewish events or places as they did not feel “safe” there.

Sirpa Rautio, the director of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), warned that the “spillover effect of the conflict in the Middle East is eroding hard-fought-for progress”. She added that “Jews are more frightened than ever before” and that growing anti-Semitism was also at risk of disrupting the EU’s first-ever strategy for addressing the issue.

If Jews don’t stop voting for and funding leftist movements can they really complain when their own leftist “allies” come after them? You cannot blame the neighbor when your own dog bites you.

Right you are. And today’s leftist leaders (both in Europe and here) have made the calculation.

Pay only lip service to the Jews. But do nothing significant to help them. Because the Muslim vote is more important than the Jewish vote.

Plus Muslims tend to get violent when challenged. So it’s better to appease them.

I seem to remember from my history books that when anti-semites are appeased, things go badly. But maybe this time it will be different (not).

The world has forgotten why there was a need for the State of Israel to be recreated post Holocaust

First, they demure. Then, they close business. Soon, they hide. After, they are moved for “their safety”. Finally, come the train cars. They’d best draw a red line soon, and start making the MUSLIMS afraid! I’ve interviewed a dozen Holocaust survivors for Spielberg’s SHOAH Foundation. I’m certain they are all gone by now, but their eldest children would not tolerate such intimidation.

“If Jews don’t stop voting for and funding leftist movements”

In an ideal world I’d say they don’t deserve to be forced to hide their faith. But they were instrumental in creating the world that we all suffer in now.

Their homes have been in Europe for generations, and they have made contributions to Western Civilization. Make the invading hoards of Muslims go home. All they have brought is dissension.
